A husband’s secret life, a wife’s new beginning: escape to the Caribbean with “Winter in Paradise” by Elin Hiderbrand. “The Dream Daughter” by Diane Chamberlain is a thrilling, mind-bending novel about one mother’s journey to save her child. Though the Great War has ended, Bess Crawford finds herself caught in deadly circumstances on a remote Welsh headland in “A Forgotten Place” by Charles Todd. “The First Love” is the latest Amish novel by Beverly Lewis.

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be in Bigfork when the SBG Gym held a Women’s Self- Defense Seminar and it was a great experience. The trainer recommended some books, which we now have available at the library. “The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals that Protect Us from Violence” by Gavin De Becker is a book that could save your life. “Protecting the Gift” also by Gavin De Becker is a guide to keeping children and teenagers safe and parents sane. “Self-Defense for Women” by Loren Christensen with a forward by Gavin De Becker is a woman’s guide to self-defense that works. All too often we become complacent and unaware of our surroundings because we live in a small town and think it will never happen here. I learned to: Be Aware, Trust Your Instincts, Stay Engaged, and Be Willing to Act. These books are full of great information to help you stay safe and keep your kids safe.
